A little bit about me

I'm a filmmaker / video creator with experience working in digital media, advertising, documentaries, TV, & Film. I currently live in Brooklyn, NY with my soon-to-be wife, Mary, two rescue cats, Dexter & Will Feral, and adopted dog, Chewie. And I love hot sauce so much that I put it on pretty much everything like Buddy The Elf with his maple syrup.  

After graduating from Syracuse University, I moved to Los Angeles and got my start working on the hit FX series JUSTIFIED where I  learned the ins and outs of how a TV show comes to life on set. I then went on to work with the writers of JUSTIFIED where I leared how a series comes to life on paper. Fast forward a year, and I'm working on Season 6 of MAD MEN for the Executive Producers where I spent my days in the writers' office, and mornings/evenings on set which felt like getting sent back to the 60s in a time machine every day. After MAD MEN, I worked 2 years in TV development with Emmy Award winning writer/producers André & Maria Jacquemetton through a Warner development deal.

Currently, I'm the Executive Producer at The Foundry - Meredith's Award Winning in-house custom content studio. Previously, I was the Senior Producer at Thrillist / Group Nine Media creating editorial and branded content. I've directed and produced for a variety of brands such as: Hilton, Marriott, Hotels.com, Microsoft, Verizon, Chase, Miller Lite, Bud Light, JetBlue, Delta, Frank's RedHot, Chobani, L.L. Bean, Mexico City Tourism, Tourism Ireland, Travel Oregon, Amazon Studios, La Quinta Inns & Suites, GE, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Captain Morgan, Smirnoff ICE, BAI, Smith & Forge Hard Cider, and more.
